Jerusalem posted:Every so often I think about that moment in Batman vs. Superman where Batman, his heart heavy but knowing he has no choice, chooses to murder a thug to save Superman's mother. It was the only choice dammit, this is a pivotal moment in Batman's life, he MUST make the lamentable decision to take another life, his hand has been forced! This is such a weird take. Like, that scene was a play on a sequence from Dark Knight Returns and Batman specifically didn't kill that guy, he killed himself. I'm starting to think I jumped into a different universe where everyone saw entirely different movies than I did.

I still can't believe how good this show is compared to Boba Fett. The contrast of watching them side-by-side is just wild. Like they really tried pulling out every bit of fanfare for that Boba Fett finale and it was still probably less enjoyable than this 2nd to last episode. Peacemaker fighting his dad and saying how "You're right, I am a piece of poo poo!" while holding back tears and then the Eagle-y scene almost made me cry ffs

Mr Hootington posted:Yeah it sucks and takes away from leto's Joker having a very sinister and flamboyant personality. He has a very '82 to "Killing Joke" joker. I highly dislike killing joke Joker but it would of been better than hip hop video Joker we got. I cannot remember a single Jokery thing he does in the movie. He's just another gangster that shoots people. Ooh his gang wears mascot costumes while they do it, so loving what.

Bird in a Blender posted:I was surprised, but also happy, that the nazis got hosed up like immediately. I was a little worried they would stick around forever as this sort of B-side villain. Economos always getting the drop on people. Yeah at first I thought they should've posed more of a threat but then I thought gently caress em, I'm glad they're being portrayed as fools.

Fucker made his son's bare knuckle box for money and when one of them died he blamed the survivor? gently caress that guy hard, with a 9mm to the brain. Also I'm going to have a hard time accepting they can hit us with a twist to make the butterflys actually good.

twistedmentat posted:There are people, that need to do rails of Joker content at all times. Batman is literally just a Joker delivery system to them. And that's why I like Leto's Joker. Specifically because he's a piece of poo poo and you shouldn't worship the guy. twistedmentat posted:I highly dislike killing joke Joker but it would of been better than hip hop video Joker we got. That's because they cut him almost entirely out of the movie in post. We didn't get to see how terribad that character was, and we got no catharsis from the rest of the Squad giving him the beating he deserves.

Without having finished the last episode, how was Peacemakers father able to build such advanced tech? Nothing in his background that suggest any acumen for the kind of physics and resources necessary for those things. For all i know he is a nazi KKK hick and they are rarely the sharpest knife in the drawer, let alone possessing whatever sharpness required to create that on their own.

From watching a random YouTube video in the comics he's dad was a rich Nazi. But apparently his characterization is all over the place. He also had two literal white dragons that are completely unexplained. He was basically a Z tier filler character in a Nazi themed super villain team. My head canon is that he comes from a line of Nazi super scientists, but the only open Nazis in America are losers and neo Nazi trash so even though he can make super weapons he has to work with what he has.

He's kinda of a hack who made Bright so who knows how good it would've been, but I can definitely vouch the theatrical cut is not his movie. Jesus christ how anyone involved with Bright ever got work again is beyond me. Can't even look at Will Smith the same way anymore.

on the nazi dad answers, just something i have to roll with i guess, although makes a little more sense inherited from the archetypal nazi scientist father. Just didnt seem that rich, funding or not. Best not to overthink it, even being relatively rich, quantum storage space and miniaturized helmet functions and power armor seems such a step above of what even the government has.Warbird posted:I took the “he was a warrior” quip to be in part a caste reference to how ants of different job duties will look considerably different to others. Could be nothing though. No idea why he decided to try and escape then and not play dead or attempt anything other than “fly past literally everyone trying to kill you and hope for the best”. Thought about this too, but as said, yeah wasnt his primary plan to survive it, and he would have to kill somebody else to be useful which he probably isnt stoked about. But since he lodges in the brain and needs oxygen to breathe, maybe he would just suffocate lodged inside the skull of a dead body not pumping blood into it anymore, thus has nothing to lose trying to vacate immediately.

The butterflies are trying to keep us from blowing ourselves up so they're just gonna kill us all by mind controlling us by the droves in a process that involves eating our brains, you know, to keep us alive.

If Auggie had only a single item of super science, like a zap sceptre or glun gun, I would just hand wave it for comic book rules. A villain needs a gimmick and there's a tradition in comics of C-List villains of having ingenuity to invent a single tool/weapon to support that gimmick. Captain Boomerang type poo poo. Except, Auggie is a legitimate super scientist. A technobabble wizard, as I like to call them. He can construct a pocket dimension to keep his superscience workshop in. The super suit, the various gimmick Peacemaker helmets...something had to have happened to Auggie inbetween the kiddie boxing match and the show to give him that ability. I hope it is an element of Season 2.

How many of them know how to repair it, and are good in a mechanical, highly technical level with fixing and improving poo poo? Horrible people can be smart too i guess

I think he was always a proficient scientist and did his kid fighting ring as a way to give back to the community and to strengthen his boys. The setup looked a bit dingy, but I don't think he did that as a means of income.
